. PROVO, Utah-Utah homosexuals say the Mormon
Church is trying to stamp them out, using a private police
force at the church-owned Brlgham Young University to
harass them throughout the state. ,
The claims are denied by both university president
Dallin Oaks and the chief of the 24-officer BYU security
force.
But a former Mormon minister who now serves a gay
church in Salt Lake City-27 miles from BYU's Provo
campus-contends he saw men from BYU jotting down
license plate numbers outside a gay bar. , .
And a Mormon lawyer says a client charged with
forcible sexual abuse was set up for the arrest by what he '
called BYU's "Mormon Militia."
The university police, responsible only to church
officials, last year were given investigative and arrest
powers rivaling those of the State Police through a law
passed by the Legislature.
The law-which took effect May 10-pertains to all
Utah colleges and universities which have security forces.
Security Chief Robert Kelshaw says his officers stay on
campus and that he has no intention of using the state
wide police authority c
Furthermore, Kelshaw says, BYU police don't go after
, homosexuals "any more than they do after any other type
of criminal," adding that only 5 percent of campus arrests
are sex-related.
"The charge is really preposterous,"says BYU president
Oaks.
. He says campus police will continue to enforce all laws
forbidding illicit sexual activity, whether homosexual or
heterosexual: "People should be able to walk down the
street without someone seizing them and soliciting sexual
relations."
The Rev. Robert Waldrop, an acknowledged homo,
sexual who serves the Metropolitan Community Church in
Salt Lake, siad that if the Mormon Church wants to teach
that homosexuality is a sin, "that's their business," but it
should not enforce its beliefs with its own militia. .
The Church of Jesus christ of Latter-day Saints ex
communicates homosexuals. Mormon president Spencer
Kimball says homosexuality is "an abomination to God"
that "corrodes the mind, snuffs out self-esteem and drags
one down into darkness of anguish and unhappiness."
Waldrop says that the alleged BYU pressure on homo
sexuals has driven many of them from campus, or at least
into hiding. "A year ago, I knew abouf 20 gays at BYU,
but this year I only know of two," he said.

SECOND FLOOR OF THE CENTRUM
NEW YORK-Even though we have been assured that
rubber bands and paper clips will continue to hold the
world economy together, at least through tomorrow,
there remain some very puzzling concerns.
With the Christmas catalogue season upon us, why is it
that the best, customer sometimes get the worst price?
. The" situation comes about this way. Existing cus
tomers are mailed the latest issues of catalogues from
which they have previously ordered, and urged to place
their holiday orders early. '
Meanwhile, through direct mailings or media adver
tisements, the company seeks new customers by offering
them a one-time discount from the regular, or catalogue,
price.
An officer of one company, Pfaelzer Bros., a Chicago
meat products company, said almost all companies do it
in order to attract new customers. He assured the com
plainant that it was in his best interests that they do so,
presumably in order for the company to raise its volume
and thus hold catalogue prices from being even higher.
But why discriminate against loyal customers? The
Pfaelzer man didn't explain. Nor did he explain why, for a
limited time and perhaps a limited quantity, the discount
couldn't apply to everyone. ,
